Re: [PATCH] docs/trans/ja_JP/howto: Don't mention specific kernel versions

Hi Fujimoto-san,

This looks mostly good to me.
Please find inline comments below on a couple of conventions expected in
this community.

It looks like patches to Chinese docs carry a simpler "docs/zh_CN:" prefix [1].
So "docs/ja_JP/howto:" should suffice.

[1]: example: https://lore.kernel.org/r/2fc8a76e1308e15823eebf614f35f36f322a55d3.1649384633.git.siyanteng@xxxxxxxxxxx/

In changelog explanation, lines should not exceed 75 chars unless you
have a good reason.
The rule is stricter than the contents of documents because some of git
commands auto indent changelogs by 4 spaces, and the result should fit
in an 80-column wide terminal.
Also, the title of the referenced commit should be enclosed in a pair
of double quotation marks.  So this should be:

   This change is based on commit d2b008f134b7
   ("Documentation/process/howto: Update for 4.x -> 5.x versioning").

[with a punctuation fix]

Please note that the above mentioned width limit does not apply to
tags.  E.g., Fixes: and Link: tags should not wrap.

These conventions are covered in the latter part of Section "Describe
your changes" and Section "The canonical patch format" of
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst.

So I'd suggest that you post a v2 with the subject and changelog
fixed.
But please wait a few days for comments from someone else.

With the above addressed, feel free to add:

        Thanks, Akira
